Ben Heck is truly a master of manipulating manufactured goods, and nothing proves his mechanical prowess more than his latest creation: an Xbox 360 disc changer. Heck has taken the 360’s DVD drive and placed it inside a heavily modified Sony CD changer. He then uses an Arduino microcontroller to control disc selection, and solders the whole kit-and-caboodle onto the 360’s motherboard.
For all us lazy slobs at Joystiq, it’s a beautiful dream to behold. We doubt we’ll ever have the opportunity to actually buy one, but modding community element14 is giving away Ben’s prototype, if signing up for forums to win homemade Xbox disc-changers is your scene.
